Sunshine Matters

As you may have seen, Governor Scott traveled the state yesterday celebrating VISIT FLORIDA receiving full funding and thanking the tourism industry for their hard work and hospitality in welcoming more than 112 million visitors last year. This victory would not have been possible without the help of the Governor, the Legislature and all of our Industry Partners.

Thanks to your dedication and support, VISIT FLORIDA is now fully funded and we can continue aggressively marketing our state to visitors around the world. With Governor Scott leading the way, Partners such as Jungle Island, Sawgrass Recreation Park, Medieval Times, ResortQuest and thousands more can continue attracting record numbers of visitors to businesses across the state. I am forever grateful for your hard work.

Now, we must move forward together to attract 120 million visitors to our state this year. It is an ambitious goal; but we are an ambitious team. Just as we worked together to obtain full funding, I am confident we will be victorious once again for our state.

I look forward to climbing this mountain with you all again, and to reaching the new records of Florida’s economic success together.
